“I just broke into tears when I realized what he was doing,” Addie's mother, Alexis Perry-Rodriguez, 25, told the TODAY Show on NBC. “I couldn't even talk.”

Garcia later told the station that going through his parents’ divorce when he was younger made him relate to her. He was at the game to watch his younger brother play against Addie’s school.

“I understood what it was like to not have a dad there, so when I saw her crying like that, it just struck a chord with me,” Garcia told told the show. “It was instinct, I guess. I just couldn't see her like that.”

After the act of kindness, Addie’s mom posted a thank you on social media.
